I drove to our old stomping grounds in Morgan, Pa.   Of course the buildings were gone…. But the trees, grass, and sideswalks are still there!   I saw your light blue car parked on the street where u usually parked.  I watched you walk down that sidewalk to your front door.  I remember that big beautiful smile you wore when you put Malinda in my arms.   Funny that even tho nothing was there I saw everything as it was many years ago.  It brought warmth to my heart.  You will never be forgotten.  May you continue to rest in peace and I will forever pray for your family.   Miss you my football buddy.

My dearest brother..it's been four years since you've been gone and I miss you.  I placed flowers on your grave today . The sadness never goes away. You are forever in my thoughts.

Hello Frank, 

It's been awhile...I first set eyes on you at Francis Elementary School fifth grade and later at Aldine Junior High School.  After eighth grade we were the very first Freshman to attend a brand new High School...Mac Author High.  During Junior High I hung out with you, Junior, and Eloy.  These were in deed the fun days.  At Mac Author we were the good guys.  We took care of the Bullies.

You always had money...not only a quarter or two, but lots of one's, twenties, and a few hundred dollars bills.  My family were poor and many times you bought me lunch.  I want to thank you so much for that.  

I still remember the moment when you first told me the lost of your kid brother Gilbert...you were broken hearted and I felt your grief.

Tenth grade I transfer to Smiley High School and lost contact with you.

After passing to the 11th grade I volunteered to join the Marines May of 69. 

On January of 1970, soon after my 18th birthday, October 12, 1969, I was sent to Vietnam.  I was wounded twice, ambushed five times, and I am the one who came up with a radio expression "Roger That".
I am certain you are aware how that expression came about since you are in Heaven now.

Frank I am glad you didn't get to go to Vietnam.  Years later, and by chance, I called you at your Army Camp and they transfer the call to your base home...you were fixing to leave for base duty.  You were pleasantly surprise to hear from me.  Well Frank...I will never forget you...I am your friend.

In closing...always remember that I will always have fond memories of you and also I want to thank you so much for watching out for me.

Sincerely,

Rafael Gonzales

Words to this day still cannot express the loss that I feel.   I miss my lifelong friend and my football  buddy.   I was so blessed to have met  you when I was 14 yrs old!  Though we lost some time in between the years you were never forgotten.   I miss you Frank Ybarbo.  You were and always will be a part of my life.  

   I remember Frank many times when him and my brother Rafael would walk the halls of MacArthur High going to their next class. You hear about a friend that is closer than a brother. There was a time you could say that, about the both of them. They were like each others shadow. They always came together like peanut butter and jelly, ketchup and fries or salt and pepper.  I am for certain Frank is among one  of my brothers best memories when reminiscing about the “good ole “ days.  You could say Frank made it in my brothers list of Hall of Famers. As Frank was for my brother Rafael, so was Gilbert for me, when I played baseball alongside him. I share this fond memory about Frank and Gilbert for they are very much alive in our memories. My heart felt condolences go to the Ybarbo family and may the peace of God comfort your hearts.
Kind regards,
Alfred T Gonzales



Frank from time to time I thought about you, asking myself, “how Frank is doing.”

This evening was one of those moments...to my dismay I found you via internet...

We first seen each other at Francis Elementary and later became good friends at Aldine Junior High.

 We were the first to attend as Freshman Students to a newly built McArthur High School...

Later to be separated due to moving away attending Smiley High School.

What I remember the most was that you were a very good friend to me and many others like myself.

You had a car and a job! You were very generous with your earnings and most of all, you over look my awkwardness as a growing teenager.

Unlike you I joined the Marines at age 17...before long at age eighteen, I was fighting somewhere in the jungles of Vietnam.

After the Marines we met a few times..,I then moved away to attend Brigham Young University...much later met my wife Gina.

Frank we just missed each other to say the least...but never will I forget you...you are indeed a very good friend, always and forever.

Frank...you were my very first friend.

And so my dear friend, “May God Be With Us When We Meet Again.”

Sincerely,

Rafael Gonzales 



On behalf of the National Assn. Of Retired Postal Inspectors we extend our deepest sympathy to you and family at this most difficult of times.  Frank was a true professional as well as being kind and thoughtful in any assignment.  We want you to know we are all thinking of him.  May he rest in peace.
John Comber, National Secretary.

I will always remember ending every Halloween night as a kid at Uncle Frank's and emptying whatever candy he had left in my trick or treat bag. Or the upside-down door handle that he didn't care to take off and put the right way. The one thing I'll miss the most is that laugh that anyone could recognize as Uncle Frank's laugh and our little talks we'd have while he picked pecans from my yard. I know you're watching over me now, I love you Uncle.

Please accept our condolences! From our family to you and yours, we send prayers for peace and strength! 

With care and love, 
David and Rosie Ybarbo- Aguilar. 

So sorry to hear about Frank’s passing. He will truly be missed by his dear family, many friends and former co-workers. He was a great man who never met a stranger. He was friendly, easy going and always ready to lend a helping hand. His many co-workers always knew you could count on Frank to be there if you ever needed him. Rest in peace Frank and know that you positively impacted all those you came in contact with throughout your life.                                                
 May God Bless you, 
      Sue Holder

Mindy and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing.  He was a very kind, soft spoken and easygoing person.  Frank took pride in his work.  It was a pleasure to have worked with him. 

I am so sorry to hear about Frank’s passing and my condolences to his family.   Having worked around Frank in the Houston Division of the Postal Inspection Service for many years, I know he had the highest respect of postal inspectors and his fellow postal police officers.  I remember Frank as one who was always smiling and willing to help out in any way possible.   He will be missed by all who knew him.   Rest in peace my friend.


Frank,
             From the moment I met you, you welcomed me with open arms. When we first met you teased Jacob telling him "she does exist!" Oh man, you always had a great sense of humor! 
          I remember when Jacob and I told you and Mindy that we were expecting a baby. The excitement from the both of you! I mean if was true joy! I new from that moment you'd both be amazing grandparents. Little did I know how much of a bond Andrea and you would actually have. I mean it started from the womb. Every time we would come visit you and Mindy while I was pregnant you'd talk to her in my belly while massaging my feet.. then feed me some more of your awesome cookin! You showed how much you loved us from beginning to end Frank.
        I'll never forget how you asked for a video of your baby, Andrea, dancing while you were in the hospital either. I've got such great memories with you Frank. I will treasure them for the rest of my life as I know many people will. You touched so many lives! I know you are smiling down on us.. watching over your grandbabies. Don't you worry though.. we will take care of each other just like you did for each and everyone of us. 
        You were not only my father in law but you were one of my closest friends. I'm going to miss everything about you Frank. Starting with your hugs, smile, laugh, road trip adventures.. down to your cookin, patience, strength and so much more!!! Save me a seat.. because this is not goodbye, just a "love you, see you later." 



 

Uncle Frank,  you are one of the Good guys! Always had a smile and a hug for anyone in need. You always treated me like one of your own. You will never know how much I love  and respect you. I know your an Angle in heaven, please watch over us . I wish we could have one more conversation and hug. Until, we see each other again, remember,  I love you. Give grandma and grandpa my love!
